Atletico Madrid have been fined the nominal sum of £450 by the Spanish Football Federation after some of their fans made monkey chants at Real Madrid's Roberto Carlos in Sunday's game at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Albacete received a similar fine last month after some of their fans taunted Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o. That amount was subsequently halved on appeal.

The SFF were fined about £45,000 by FIFA after Spain fans made racist chants at England's black players during November's friendly in Madrid.
